This was the first time I stayed at a hostel. It was clean, quiet, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Kerry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

this was the perfect place to stay for one night before an early flight. It was clean, basic and had a very reliable free airport shuttle running hourly from 4am-midnight, or for a small fee if you need it between midnight and 4am.

Very good un any sense
PETER, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is an incredibly tiny hole in the wall hostel. But it's clean, the tiny rooms have everything you need. And of course - it's walking distance to the airport.
BARBARA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice place to stay one night, on way in or out of Guatemala. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Hit water. Small room but adequate for a short stay.

close to airport

very close to the airport, only a 10 minuet walk. Not much else around. I only had one night there as I had a layover.
Fiona, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Service and courtesy are excellent! I only wish they could have other options to pay for food beside just cash only… But nevertheless, everything else was good!
latinboy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay! Highly recommend!

Staff were efficient, kind, welcoming. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and well kept. Stayed in a dorm, other guests were polite and quiet. I felt safe and secure in the compound and in the rooms. Breakfast was great and just what I needed at 7a before I left for the airport. Coffee was great! Thank you so much! Would definitely stay there again.
